Every day, protecting sensitive scientific equipment and computers from radiation is becoming a challenge for engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. So, they have developed three innovative products that could soon find their way to nuclear power plants, particle accelerators and other radiation-generating devices around the world.

A senior consultant from MedirayTM1 discusses about Nuclear Medicine Shielding accessories that they supply, “Medi-RayTM has been the largest supplier of radio-pharmaceutical shipping containers since 1974. Medi-RayTM founders were the driving force in the development and refinement of shielded laboratory equipment and accessories for nuclear medicine. Our line of products includes numerous vial shields, syringe shields, and specialty items. Design staff personnel can develop an entire series of accessories to complement a radio-pharmaceutical product line.” (Ref: MedirayTM, http://www.mediray.com/product_category/products/nuclear_medicine_accessories)
The three patented/patent-pending technologies form a system for shielding that is less expensive, lighter and less bulky than standard products and easily manufactured using existing techniques. They consist of recipes for a lightweight concrete that is four times better at slowing down neutrons than ordinary concrete, a boron-rich concrete that absorbs neutrons using less material, and a thin, boron-rich paneling for use in space-restricted areas. The ability of a system built using these technologies to block radiation, particularly neutrons, has applications in the storage of nuclear waste, in building compact nuclear reactors and in shielding radiation sources used in medical applications.
MedirayTM: MedirayTM is devoted to innovation in lead metal technology. Since 1974, MedirayTM has been the largest supplier of radio-pharmaceutical shipping containers. MedirayTM is mainly known for shielding radioactive products, X-ray, PET, CT or MRI equipment.
